Vehicle crossings are what connects your property to a council road, and must be installed by a council-approved contractor.

Applications for a vehicle crossing must be made using the Vehicle Crossing Application form. If you prefer a hard copy, these are available from Council's administration building, Ruataniwha Street, Waipawa. 

Council will assess and approve your application before you engage an approved contractor. These applications do incur a fee; see the 'Land Transport Group' section on the Fees and Charges page.

A list of approved contractors will be sent out to you once your vehicle crossing application is approved.
